Well, it was sort of annoying to be honest, and depressing, even if your world is not affected by the pandemic the suffering of others certainly ruin your mood! You cant help it! On the final day of April let us hope things will take a turn for better, for all of us! Especially those whose lives have been turned upside down!
And the article I published in linkedin today is here for you:
Well, I grew up reading the stories of the challenges that authors of earlier times faced, and they were grim believe me! It will hurt any booklover to think about the hardships they faced when they were alive, and then when they were dead their books made their publishers rich or affluent whatsoever!
We, those who love those authors wished they had enjoyed our fandom when they were alive.
But modern times have given us authors even darker a gift, I am an Indie author, who has published all her works for free in Kindle {God bless you Kindle} after being duped by a publishing firm that took 5000 rupee and created a book that was straight out of nightmares! I can create better books without any knowledge of book-making with the help of tools Kindle provides, for free!
But that is not the darkness I was talking about, I was talking about those mails I receive promising me critiques if I pay them money! Wow! that is a new height in tormenting authors! Our predecessors did not get money for their works and now critiques ask us for money to write about our books, getting free books is not enough for them! Awesome!
